I'm not sure where that is, but you da man!!

Here are the details of the meeting with Kris.

I got to the Station around 7:15. When I walked in, I recognized Kris from a previous Tech Day at the now defunct Sacramento Fiero Club. We talked for a little bit. His father let him go but his mother was fighting him. She even brought in his grandmother to try to get Kris committed for a psych eval. It takes two family members to get someone committed and Kris' father refused to do it. Luckily, Kris' grandmother refused to do it too.

I handed Kris the donations from our generous PFF members. It totalled $350 cash, a cell phone and the book "As a Man Thinketh". I asked if Kris had his Tazer on him and he said no because it is a felony to transport one through Oklahoma unless it is in a locked box. I gave Kris my can of pepper spray to guard his valuables and to keep him a virgin until he gets to Missouri.



Next we walked a couple of blocks to the mall to have dinner at Johnny Rockets. Kris' new best friend that he met on the bus came with us for dinner. The other guy is Patrick. He was very talkative about his plans to get a job working for a professional sporting team. I hope things work out for him.



We got back to the bus station at about 9:10, I said my good-byes and headed home.

Great job!

Thanx for being there & keeping us in the loop.
Does Kriss seem ready to start anew?

I'm sure he will need some time to come down from the guilt trippin' he just got put through, and the fear of a new start in a new place, and I wish him a bright fresh outlook as soon as possable.

Someone should make a PFF movie! This forum is awesome.

Kris, believe it or not, I have had that same look in my life. What I did not have, is the support of many like that which is following you. It took many a hardship to be me. I would not change a single thing.

Edit: PENNOCK"S ROCKS!!

Someone buy Kris a notebook and tell him to write down everything that is happening to him. This has GOT to be on TV somehow.

OK, so who would we get to play Kris in the movie? What actor do you guys think looks like him?

Seth Rogen (with straighter hair)??

quote Originally posted by mrfiero: Seth Rogen (with straighter hair)??

Yeah.

Funny... I was thinking Kris could write a book about this and make some money off it.

This is AWESOME. Why can't acts of kindness happen more often?

Awesome to see the as it happens news feed

kinda looks like hes trying to figure out his first rubix cube.

I am bringing him a damn razor... A neck beard? Jebus.

quote Originally posted by ls3mach: I am bringing him a damn razor... A neck beard? Jebus.

I agree...
The baby face with the neck beard.... NOT a good thing going on..

How much you want to bet the moment he shaves it off and steps out of the bus stop restroom, some random woman walking through pounces on him and has her way with him?

I'd put money down that the neck beard is holding him back. Of course, you have to be brave to grow one in the first place, so maybe that is where his travel courage came from.

Dude, this is awesome. Any update on his where-abouts?

YAY! I am so happy that he got out of there without more issues.
Good job grandma on not giving into the mother's wishes.

Let Kris go and have a great life with those that care for him and about his life.

Good luck Kris, keep us posted everyone!


We should totally have a PFF movie, there have been so many trials we have all gone through and we have each been there for the other. Its a great place and a great cyber family we have

Jack Black or Nate Torrence (Lloyd in the Get Smart movie).

He has more 5 o’clock shadowy than I do after 3 days without shaving and I’m 55.

Good luck dude and stay safe.

Oh ya and watch your back around Brad he strikes me as just a little off center.

Just got off the phone with Antuzzi. He is coming into the LA stop shortly.

Told him I was proud of him, and that he needed to shave the neck beard... He said he was planning on it.

Yea, he was told by Rachel to look scruffy, don't shave for a few days, etc. and he wouldn't have to worry about as much on the bus, which is true.

If someone is looking around for a mark, they will typically ignore the scruffy kid with a PK Tramp stamp. So right now he's checking out hookers in LA, nice.

That much closer. 6 more stops in California.

Brad

PK trampstamp... classic.

C'mon Kris, we're all rooting for you.

$30 sent. Wish it was more, but I think he needs it more than I do.
That's one brave dude.

I hope he has an uneventful bus ride and lots of people to meet at his stops to keep his spirits up. Glad he made it on the bus without his mom getting her way and managing to keep him there...

Edit: Keep repeating myself from earlier

Next stop Riverside California.

Kris tried to post on here from a borrowed smartphone, but it wouldn't allow it. Possibly a problem with the phone.
